The Fenrir screen reader has moved. The new repository, where development is continuing, is located at:

git.stormux.org/storm/fenrir

There have been some major changes with more to come. One thing that will affect existing users is, there is no longer a fenrir-daemon separate from the main launcher. It now launches in the background using just "fenrir" with the old option to run in the foreground now a flag. So to launch and keep Fenrir in the foreground:

fenrir -f

This means those relying on service files for systemd or runit, you will need to update your service file for the new version. The fenrir-git package available from the AUR is already updated for the new version. If you use a package manager such as yay to install and update fenrir, you may want to remove the existing cached package before upgrading:
rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/fenrir-git
yay -S fenrir-git

There will be a stable release coming hopefully later this month. Thee has been lots of refactoring and code cleanup over the last couple weeks.

If you are interested in contributing to Fenrir, pull requests are welcome or contact me if you would like to be added directly to the project. Both python coders and documentation writers are needed.

So how did they catch him?

Was it the thousands of hours of NYPD overtime, for cops walking around central park? No.

Was it Sherlock Holmes style detective work? No.

Someone dropped a dime on him, while he was eating his McMuffin.

And he conveniently had the weapon and his manifesto on him.πŸ€¦πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ

There is something oddly satisfying and dare I say therapeutic defragmenting a mechanical hard drive on Windows 98.

How many of you have carefully watched the progress as the churn and crunch of the drive is heard?

Almost, but Not Quite, Entirely Unlike…

Shit that drives me nuts about #emacs :

I use lsp-mode to have modern niceties for editing code, and which-key to aid in remembering hotkeys.

lsp-mode has a bunch of prefix keys, but somehow Emacs just displayed "g +prefix" and the like for them. It didn't tell me what each group is.

Turns out there is "which-key integration" in the lsp-mode docs: emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/p…

So you *have to enable integrating it with the thing you already have enabled*. Now it displays "g +goto" as expected.

Last time we raised funds to add offline messaging support to #bifrost bridge, which connects #matrix and #xmpp. Now we need to raise some funds again to adapt the bridge to support recent changes in how media is shared in matrix. Please contribute opencollective.com/bifrost-med… #FreeSoftware Once we have some funds, we hope this will motivate someone to fix the bridge. You can also join xmpp:bifrost-mam@groups.podder… if you like to help.
